‘We are Q’: Conspiracy cult leaps from the internet to the…

"Tampa rally, live coverage," wrote "Dan," posting a link to President Donald Trump's Tampa speech in a thread on 8chan, an anonymous image board also known as Infinitechan or Infinitychan, which might be best described as the unglued twin of better-known 4chan, a message board already untethered from reality. The thread invited "requests to Q," an anonymous user claiming to be a government agent with top security clearance, waging war against the so-called deep state in service to the 45th president.

Carter Page and the FISA conspiracy theory: Trump’s back to claiming it’s all a “hoax”

More than the sound of Cessnas and private jets at Morristown Municipal Airport this week was the buzz over the impending arrival of President Trump, who would be flying in for another weekend stay at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., where he spends time in the summer. Airport regulars - from flight instructors to mechanics to amateur pilots - said they expected the usual lockdown of the runway during the president's arrival and departure, and flying restrictions for the full duration of his stay.

New MuellerGate Developments Prove ‘Deep State’ Conspiracy Against Trump

For months, I've been saying the Mueller "investigation" is not an investigation, it's a cover-up , the objective of which is to conceal the Obama administration's illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign, while also manufacturing an appearance of wrongdoing by Trump.

Because this was a phony conspiracy theory created by Clinton operatives, using Fusion GPS in an attempt to fabricate an illusion of "collusion" that did not actually exist.

Online sales tax ruling could bring ‘hundreds of millions of dollars’ to California

California was already trying to wring more tax out of online retailers months before the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that gave states permission to do so.

It's apparent by his conduct in office and particularly related to the Russia investigation - helping manufacture "Deep State" conspiracy theories to undermine our law enforcement and intelligence institutions, concocting absurd spy stories with no merit, firing an FBI director for not letting things slide, belittling his attorney general for rightfully recusing himself from the probe and sending out his lawyer to act like they can dictate the terms of the investigation.
